Former FBI Director James Comey predicted on Sunday that former President Trump “could be wearing an ankle bracelet” when accepting the GOP nomination if he wins it in 2024, as the former president faces a number of legal challenges. Comey said on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” that he doesn’t “want to” but “could” envision Trump getting the Republican nod. “I mean, it’s this crazy world that Donald Trump has dragged this country into, but he could be wearing an ankle bracelet while accepting the nomination at the Republican convention,” Comey said. “You would be rejected if you put it...

Many successful defenses against attacks by bears on people are not recorded/reported as attacks because the bear is killed and reported as a legal hunting harvest. People who want to minimize the danger of bear attacks point out few people are killed by bears. Very few people are killed by bears because people are more effective killers than bears if people are allowed to keep and carry weapons. People have a natural affinity to keep and carry arms. The renowned bear researcher, Stephen Herrero, speculated as to why so few people are killed by black bears. Herrero, as reported in...

VIDEOSince today is the 79th Anniversary of the D-Day landing on June 6, 1944 I thought it would be a good time to compare the amazingly similar voices of Dwight D. Eisenhower and Clark Gable. In this video you can hear Eisenhower's D-Day message to the allied troops as compared to Clark Gable's recruitment speech for the Army Air Force. I also mixed up the segments of each so you can hear them speak closer together in order to better compare the similarity of their voices.

Make electricity unreliable and unaffordable and you’ll soon turn your economy to ashes. Australia is on the brink of a major recession, and energy costs are front and centre. Power prices will jump by 25 to 30% next month following the closure of yet another perfectly operable 2,000MW coal-fired power plant. Since the Federal Government’s Renewable Energy Target was ramped up by the Labor government in 2010, Australians have been hit with double-digit percentage increases in their power bills every year since. Households are being hammered by rising interest rates and power bills that they simply cannot afford. Then there...

Have schools stopped teaching "Nineteen Eighty-Four" — or are they now teaching it as a playbook for America to follow? Either way, nearly a third of Generation Z loves Big Brother. A survey by the Cato Institute finds 29% of Americans aged 18-29 respond affirmatively when asked, "Would you favor or oppose the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity?" In 1791, the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham proposed building a "panopticon" in which people's behavior could be monitored at all times. But Bentham's panopticon was meant to be a prison. A...

An Air Force veteran is blowing the whistle on alleged secret U.S. military programs which he claims have been retrieving craft of "non-human origin" for at least several decades. David Charles Grusch, a 36-year-old decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan, served the National Reconnaissance Office, acting as their representative to Congress’ Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021.

Robinson stood in front of the car in an attempt to block it, but was pushed backward when then driver hit the gas pedal. "I don’t even know what made me think to do that,...

NORWEGIAN SEA – In a continued sign of transatlantic unity, the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) came under NATO command today while preparing to conduct activities in the Norwegian Sea with other maritime forces from Allied Nations.

Norway is the host nation for these...

@jimmy_dore Americans are the MOST propagandized people on earth & have absolutely no idea they are.

RE: @blackintheempir We've now been told Russia blew up their own bridge, was shelling their own nuclear power plant, blew up their own pipeline and now blew up a dam that cuts off water to Crimea which is one of the places they went to war to protect.

All the hoopla over the end of Title 42 was for naught, we are told by the media. We’re told the amount of people entering dropped drastically. Is the border under control? It depends on what you mean by “under control”. If by “under control” you mean the Biden Rush is over, then no. But if by “under control” you mean border policy is following the administration’s agenda, then yes.

The crazed ex-boyfriend of a popular Florida high school softball star repeatedly stabbed his former flame before cutting his own throat in a desperate suicide bid, cops said. The grisly, broad-daylight assault in posh Ponte Vedra Beach near Jacksonville was interrupted only after a courageous good Samaritan spotted the frenzied attack and intervened, according to police. Madison Schemitz, 17, a rising senior at Ponte Vedra High School, was eating at a restaurant Saturday with her mother, Jackie Roge, and friend Casey Estep when they spotted Spencer Pearson, a recent graduate of the school and a former football player. Estep told...

(Note: This was republished by Zero Hedge and it is not your average blog post) What Happens When the Competent Opt Out? By this terminal stage, the competent have been driven out, quit or burned out. What happens with the competent retire, burn out or opt out? It's a question few bother to ask because the base assumption is that there is an essentially limitless pool of competent people who can be tapped or trained to replace those who retire, burn out or opt out, i.e. quit in favor of a lifestyle that doesn't require much in the way of...

Ukrainian forces have advanced on Bakhmut, Kyiv's deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar said, describing the embattled city as the 'epicentre of hostilities'. Ms Maliar said Kyiv's troops had 'some success' on the battlefield surrounding Bakhmut and they are 'advancing on a wide front', but she dismissed suggestions of a major operation.

We have taken control of certain heights.' -snip- News of the Ukrainian advances came after the head of Russia's feared paramilitary group Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, slammed claims by the Russian...

Special Counsel John Durham’s final report faults the FBI for opening the Trump-Russia collusion investigation on baseless grounds and relying on Hillary Clinton-funded material to pursue it, all while ignoring a warning that Clinton was plotting to frame Trump as a Russian asset. Yet Durham does not address the Clinton campaign’s equally central tie to Russiagate’s other foundational allegation: that Russia interfered in the 2016 election by hacking Democratic party servers and releasing the material through Wikileaks to help elect Trump. Durham’s silence on the Clinton team’s role in generating this unproven claim comes despite his unearthing of evidence that...

Former Trump presidential adviser Stephen Miller’s America First Legal formally demanded that Target be transparent in the midst of backlash against the big box chain for its decision to sell “pride”-related items for children. The group, working on behalf of the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), served Target Corporation with a “formal demand for the production of corporate books and records” about its alleged support for a “radical LGBT political agenda” that has reported cost the company billions in market valuation since the middle of last month, according to a news release issued Tuesday. Because the NCPPR is...

Inflicting heavy fines on developers of a project billed as supplying clean, renewable energy, a federal jury has awarded a couple in southwest Georgia $135.5 million after runoff from “Lumpkin Solar” severely polluted waters and soils on their rural property. According to a lawsuit filed by Shaun and Amie Harris, Lumpkin Solar’s developers – after clearing about 1,000 acres of timberland, farmland, and land previously used for hunting and fishing – failed to install adequate measures for erosion and sediment control. “The result is what one would expect – when it rained, pollution poured downhill and downstream onto the neighbors’...
